Fiona Goding
Fiona Goding is a dedicated primary school educator with a deep interest in helping children with learning differences. With over two and a half decades in the classroom, she founded “The Literacy Nook” to provide the specialised, one-on-one attention that children need to thrive in their literacy journey.
"My goal is simple to create a 'nook' where every child feels safe enough to struggle, brave enough to try, and proud enough to succeed."
After years of observing how children with individual learning styles were often left behind in busy classrooms, Fiona made it her mission to offer something different a calm, private space where every child is fully seen and fully supported.
With experience supporting children with learning differences, Fiona uses proven, evidence-based methods including structured literacy and multisensory techniques to deliver support that makes a lasting difference.

The values behind The Literacy Nook
Everything Fiona does is guided by a few deeply held beliefs about how children learn best.
Every child learns differently
No scripts, no one-size-fits-all. Every session is built around your child's unique strengths and challenges.
Confidence comes before competence
A child who feels safe will always learn faster. We build trust first, skills follow naturally.
Evidence, not guesswork
Fiona uses evidence-based approaches, including structured literacy and multisensory techniques, to support children with learning differences.
